Plans
Creor offers three subscription tiers through the Creor Gateway, plus a bring-your-own-key option that is always free. All plans include the full Creor IDE with all features — plans only differ in how you access AI models.
| Plan | Price | Requests / Month | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 200 Gateway requests | Trying Creor, light usage |
| Starter | $20/month | 1,000 Gateway requests | Individual developers |
| Pro | $40/month | Unlimited Gateway requests | Daily professional use |
| BYOK | $0 | Unlimited (your own keys) | Users who prefer direct API access |
Note
Free Tier
The Free tier is a great way to try Creor without any commitment. You get 200 Creor Gateway requests per month, which is enough for light exploration and small tasks.
- 200 Gateway requests per month across all models.
- Access to all supported models (subject to per-model rate limits).
- Full IDE features: editor, terminal, extensions, git integration.
- All 25+ AI tools: file editing, code search, web search, planning, and more.
- Community support via GitHub Discussions.
When you reach the monthly limit, you can either upgrade to a paid plan or add your own API keys (BYOK) to continue using AI features without limits.
Starter
The Starter plan is designed for individual developers who use AI coding assistance regularly but not all day.
- 1,000 Gateway requests per month.
- Priority model access — reduced queue times during peak hours.
- Email support with 24-hour response time.
- Usage dashboard with per-session cost breakdown.
A typical coding session uses 10-30 requests depending on task complexity, so 1,000 requests covers roughly 30-100 sessions per month.
Pro
The Pro plan removes all usage limits. It is built for developers who rely on AI assistance throughout their workday.
- Unlimited Gateway requests — no monthly caps.
- Access to the latest models on launch day.
- Priority routing and lower latency.
- Cloud agents for running AI tasks in the background.
- Team features: shared workspaces, usage analytics, admin controls.
- Priority support with same-day response.
BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys)
If you already have API keys from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or any other supported provider, you can use them directly in Creor at no cost. BYOK mode is always free and has no request limits — you pay the provider directly at their standard rates.
Setting up BYOK
- Open Settings (Cmd + , on macOS, Ctrl + , on Windows/Linux).
- Navigate to AI > Providers.
- Select a provider (e.g., Anthropic) and enter your API key.
- The key is stored in your OS keychain — never sent to Creor servers.
- Models from that provider now appear in the model picker.
Mixing Gateway and BYOK
You can use both the Creor Gateway and your own keys simultaneously. For example, use the Gateway for Claude models and your own OpenAI key for GPT-4o. The model picker shows which provider handles each model.
Tip

Credits
Gateway requests are counted per agent interaction, not per API call. When you send a message in the chat, the agent may make multiple internal API calls (reading files, searching, editing) — this counts as a single request from your quota.
How credits are consumed
| Action | Credits Used |
|---|---|
| Chat message (any model) | 1 credit |
| Plan mode analysis | 1 credit |
| Background agent task | 1 credit per message |
| Inline edit suggestion | 1 credit |
| Auto-complete (if enabled) | 0 credits (uses local model) |
You can monitor your usage in real time from the dashboard. The status bar in Creor also shows your remaining credits for the current billing period.
Note
Switching Models
You can change the active model at any time, even mid-conversation.
From the model picker
Click the model name in the chat input area (bottom of the AI panel) to open the model picker. It shows all available models grouped by provider, with indicators for speed, cost, and context window size.
From the keyboard
Use the keyboard shortcut Cmd + Shift + M (macOS) or Ctrl + Shift + M (Windows/Linux) to open the model picker without leaving the keyboard.
Per-task model selection
Different models excel at different tasks. A practical setup:
- Claude Opus 4 or GPT-4.1 — complex architecture decisions, large refactors, debugging tricky issues.
- Claude Sonnet 4 or GPT-4o — everyday coding, writing tests, quick edits. Best balance of quality and speed.
- Gemini 2.5 Pro — tasks that need massive context, like analyzing an entire codebase or cross-referencing many files.
- Claude Haiku 3.5 or GPT-4o Mini — simple tasks, boilerplate generation, formatting. Fastest response times.
